Abstract

A method for analysis of irregular areas has been developed for use with histological sections. The analysis is performed utilizing a digitizing tablet and a microcomputer. The advantages of this system are a specialized form of output suited to the analysis of mosaic tissues, disk storage of all data, plotter output for verification, and an inexpensive hardware environment. The program results of determinations of liver patch size in a novel chimeric rat system are described.
